14. We’re Too Busy to Pay Attention
revealbi.io
From Microsoft Research … but it might be because we are smarter than ever and crave more information. In
2000 the average attention span was 12 seconds, but this has now fallen to just eight. The goldfish is believed to
be able to maintain a solid nine.

Charts take rich data (often KPI’s) and make
it consumable​
Charts can tell a story in an explanatory way
or an exploratory way​
Multiples Charts make up Dashboards which
display one or more visualizations to help
users make decisions​
Your apps need to help the
people using them
understand their data
better – faster, easier and
in meaningful ways.
Modernize Data and Make it Memorable

16. Why Modernize with
Embedded Analytics

17. • In-context analytics that enables your users to make
better, faster decisions that are based on the information
/ screen they are working in
• Keep users within their workflows – do not require users
to go to a different application to look up data or gain
insights to make decisions
Task Switching Costs Time & Money
revealbi.io
• While each task switch might
waste only 1/10th of a
second
• Can add up to a loss of 40%
of your productivity

18. • Transparency of data and using data to drive decisions in
an organization fosters trust and confidence across teams
• Sharing business goals and enabling employees to use
data to drive to business goals is proven to deliver
bottom-line value in organizations

20. App Modernization Considerations
revealbi.io

21. Managing Your App Portfolio
revealbi.io
Effectively managing your app portfolio includes considerations like cost
to modernize, skillset of your development team, customer expectations,
and the predicted lifetime of the platform it is built on / with.
1. Can you retain the app long term with no changes?
2. Are you moving to a cloud strategy in your IT organization?
3. Is the app architecture service-based or client-server?
4. Is there high-risk in refactoring / revising codebase?
5. Status-Quo, Rip and Replace or Modernize?
In most cases, app modernization is less risk, lower cost, can drive
revenue and will give you a higher customer satisfaction in the short to
mid-term.

22. 5 Steps to App Modernization
revealbi.io

23. Know Your Goals
Start your journey with a defined business outcome.
1. Is this a value-add to customers?
2. Is this a new revenue stream?
3. Are you trying to ‘save’ customers from fleeing
to new, modern competitors?
4. Are you trying to push a data-first / data-
democratization culture change?
5. Do you want to promote self-service or simply
sharing of data?

24. Know Your Audience
Who is the target audience of the app
modernization?
1. Existing users in an existing app
2. New users in existing app
3. New / Existing users in an off-shoot of you
existing app
These answers will make a difference in the UX
choices and how you approach the modernization.

25. Know Your UX Strategy
It is disruptive to the end users when the analytics
they are being provided within an application do
not look like they belong. Like they were slapped
together without caring how it looks.
1. Deliver a “Built-in” experience, not a “Bolt-
on” experience
2. Making sure that all UX elements (theming &
styling, roundness vs. squareness, dialogs)
match your brand experience

26. Know Your Data
Having a full understanding for the data you require for
your dashboards will make the app modernization
much smoother. Ensure you have you done an
inventory of data sources and have planned what you
are going to give users access to.
1. On-Prem or Cloud-Based?
2. Do you need to access data from SaaS products?
3. Does your data need orchestration /
transformation?

27. Know Your Services
If you’ve started a modernization projection, you
may have started down the path of transforming
your app to a service-based approach. If not, you
will need to architect the API’s, Security and Data
Access to expose what you need via RESTful API’s
and services.
1. Do you have API’s?
2. Are your services secure?
3. Is your architecture loosely coupled?
4. Do you require VPN to access internal data?
